“I think if you were ever to meet a character like Captain Jack, I think the most monogamous woman in the world would probably go for him – it’d be hard not to.”
– Eve Myles
Gwen Cooper traded her ho-hum career as a policewoman to work as a professional alien catcher at Torchwood, an organization which legend has it is “separate from the government, outside the police, and beyond the United Nations.” Eve Myles, the Welsh actress who plays Gwen, in turn, has traded her life in very legitimate theater for one in the warped and sexy science fiction universe.
Torchwood is the adult-orientated spin-off from Doctor Who, the world’s longest running sci-fi TV series. Created by Doctor Who writer/producer/guru Russell T. Davies, Torchwood debuted in the UK in 2006.
Picked up by BBC America in 2007, it become one of the station’s hottest properties to date. In part that is due to the on-screen chemistry between Eve’s character and that of her charismatic boss Captain Jack Harkness (played by John Barrowman). When the two aren’t doing battle to save the planet, they’re battling to resist their mutual compulsion to get it on.
At the end of season two Jack and Eve lost two of their colleagues. Season three picks up where two left off, and takes the form of an epic five-part mini series called, Children of Earth.
We called Eve up while she was on a promotional trip in New York to get the inside scoop on Torchwood’s other worldly success.
